Yet more fuel to the fire of the on-going debate on gun purchasing and licensure in America...
The article:
Investigators said Cho procured one of the guns he used in the rampage, a Walther .22-caliber pistol, Feb. 9 from a pawnshop on Main Street in Blacksburg near the Virginia Tech campus.
On March 16, he bought the second gun, a 9mm Glock 19, from Roanoke Firearms, a gun shop on Cove Road in Roanoke.
He used his driver's license as identification and had no problem buying the guns because he was complying with Virginia law, which permits the purchase of one gun a month, investigators said.
The Glock was used in two shootings, first in a dormitory and then in Norris Hall more than 2 1/2 hours later, officials said. A surveillance tape, which has now been watched by federal agents, shows Cho buying the Glock, sources said. Both guns are semiautomatic, which means that one round is fired for every finger pull.

as a results of fact it is not good judgment. it truly is a knee jerk reaction to do away with the gadget, no longer the challenge. the challenge is this guy misplaced his suggestions and used firearms to kill human beings. the reality is this comparable guy or woman would have genuinely used an improvised weapon of yet another type and that should have been in simple terms as detrimental. BTW, there became right into a situation various years in the past the place a deranged guy walked around a school and killed and maimed a dozen or extra toddlers with a knife. BTW, to the guy that stated we ought to constantly protest in Washington DC approximately firearm administration would desire to realize this after dark. you will get to verify how properly gun administration works.

What exactly is your question? This isn't yahoo debate. Even if it was yahoo debate, I couldn't argue for or against your point. Why? You don't make it clear what side you are for. From reading your post all I can tell is that you are excited about how easy it is to buy guns in Virginia. From now on, when you post, please make sure it is a question or at least if you have to post an opinion, make sure people can tell what side of the argument you are on, that way we can at least post comment agreeing with you or condemning you for being an idiot!

Just to give you a clue, most legal firearms are semi-automatic. Most Sport guns are semi-automatic. My shotgun is semi-automatic, this does not make them "evil" or systematic killers etc. As for gun laws, we are not a fascist state and should not be putting the general good above the individual rights.
